[sdre-l]: salt lake city
This show was the greatest I've ever seen. The highlights were j'nuh and the rising tide. J'nuh was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, seriously. In Circles sounded great. I also loved the ending to the rising tide how they mixed it up a bit and added new pieces. I'm still thinking of j'nuh. After seeing them play the new songs live, without all of the production problems that are present on the new cd, I gained much respect for their new songs. It was easier to listen to the real music rather than focusing on the cheesy guitars and the commercially-aimed vocals. How wonderful.

Does the $20 price tag make it more compelling? I hope it's cheaper at the shows, although I'll shell out whatever it takes anyway. That's the real advantage of being indie (or, as indie as Sub-Pop is.. at least they let SDRE chose their own web designer [who was better than the new one, I might add]..).. t-shirts for under $12. (Well, yeah, there's other advantages too, but..)
Re: [sdre-l]: television/jermey
Yea, I hear the same thing. Ironic he choose to mimic a song called Jeremy... By the way does anyone else see this as SDREs Ghost in the Machine album (the Police)? Just a thought... From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sdre-l]: television/jermey Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 18:54:21 EDT this may just be me, but i think that in when jeremy sings "television" and then adds the "ee" and on the third time adds more "ooo ooo ooo"s to it, it sounds just like pearl jam's "jeremy" when he sings the "o's" towards the end. i just thought that was pretty cool. i wonder if jeremy listens to pearl jam... i wonder if more sunny day fans that don't like pearl jam cause they are too "mainstream" would listen to pearl jam if jeremy did? hmm... okay i'll stop now ;) peace out, kurt if anybody wants to listen for it, let me know what you think of the comparison...

[sdre-l]: late comments on drumming
the subject was driven into the ground but i have to speak none the less i think most of you people are just wrong about the whole mature drumming thing will doesn't suck now, i think he's still just as talented of a drummer, its just a little boring while songs like seven or rodeo jones may have been a little hectic, the parts fit the songs very well someone made the comment that anyone can learn to play lots of fast fills that's just not so while how fast one can run down the toms may not but the ultimate measure of a good set drummer, it definitely shows something i'm not crying for a return to the days of 'great songs, bad production' like diary or lp2, the 'maturity' that will shows now is just a little too restrained for me it didn't bother me with hiftbso at all because the whole feel of the album was different and fancy-crap drumming would have sounded real dumb, but with trt, the band as a whole sounds like they're trying to go for that more aggressive sound of the old days at times (i.e. killed by an angel)and just a bit more of the fancy-crap drumming would just put a real nice finishing touch on the sound over-all if anyone understands the point of all that, hats off dave p.s. anyone know about grendel being played live? i know its a very long-shot, but still, i'd shit myself to hear that song live Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[sdre-l]: POLL RESULTS!
Only got twenty votes but it seems like there was a solid enough pattern to see how people in general feel... Lets get to the ones that got no votes.. Disappear The Ocean Television The Rising Tide This is not to say that these aren't great songs... because they are. The Rising Tide has gone from one of my least favorites to in my top three but.. alas... There must losers if there are to be winners, so there you have it. Here is your favorites... 5th place: Rain Song 4th place (tied). Killed By An Angel 4th place (tied). One 4th place (tied). Snibe 1st place (tied). Faces In Disguise 1st place (tied). Tearing In My Heart 1st place (sort of winner cause it gets my vote). Fool In The Photograph I guess the results arent really that interesting because everything tied. But all of the 1st place songs had more than double the amount of votes that the 4th place ones did. So it is clear that those three songs are the big favorites. What is going to be interesting though is when i hold this same poll again in a month or two. I know that just about every sdre song has been my favorite at some point or another so this list should change. So, thanks everyone that voted. Especially the ones who wrote funny stuff in their votes. It makes stuff like this fun. -=pete dodd
[sdre-l]: One quick poll

[sdre-l]: Merch list and prices - 3rd stop: Boulder, Colorado
Hey, Just got back from the Boulder, Colorado show, and it was simply fan-tas-tic. Nothing bad to say, except for the fans, who this time are known for stealing merch from other fans and starting fights after the show, not to mention the usual screaming for songs they'll never play. Nice job boulder! First off, the merch prices. I'm not sure if anyone has written these in yet, but it's a good thing to know, so i'll do it again. Shirts - 15 bucks. 3 or 4 choices or so, the coolest being the Thief steal me a peach shirt on white with a bright orange peach. Pillowcases - 15 bucks. Comes in a two pillowcase set, written in Jeremy's script handwriting from How it feels. First pillow case says, "Morning comes in the dream before we rise", second says, "when we linger side by side", white cases with light blue writing. Patches, or "armbands" - 3 bucks, black with a white "rodeo jones" written across it, pretty big, looks like about 10 inches. Stickers - a buck each, ouch. Circle stickers in black or red with the fly on it. Posters - 2 bucks. Good price, but they're pretty small, with a shot of the band and sdre written above it. Better than the live poster, but still, nothing compared to Chris Thompson's artwork. That's about it. I didn't catch the prices for the CDs or records, but they had the rising tide LP in double, green vinyl. Cool!! Notice that the AD site was selling the shirts for 20 bucks? Get yours on tour while you can, i have a feeling we'll get the money whipped from our hands indiana jones style when the online store becomes more complete. Oh, for no knife, shirts were 10 bucks. They did a great job, people were going nuts for them. Yes, they did close with Mission control, and played it great. The blonde guitar player can play some mean riffs, and is a great singer as well. Bass player was tight as hell, too. Amazing band! Sdre came out, played mainly songs off the new album, one from the pink album and two from diary, i think just two from how it feels. No need to review it, just as magical as usual. Between songs, someone shouted "hey will, foo fighters suck!", which he seemed to not find too amusing, and gave a gesture that looked like, "hey now, no shit-talkin". Besides that, that's it! Have a great night, -Rob Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[sdre-l]: seattle times spread
for those that don't know, the seattle times ran a huge feature on SDRE tuesday... i finally got a new scanner... http://www.ysib.com/anthony/sdre/wiiliam-seatimes.jpg (that's not a typo... i don't feel like fixing it) http://www.ysib.com/anthony/sdre/dan-seatimes.jpg http://www.ysib.com/anthony/sdre/jeremy-seatimes.jpg i'm just putting these files up so other people can download them and put them on their pages... i'm hereby giving anyone permission to do whatever they want with these files. just don't put links to where they are now to your page, my server doesn't need anymore traffic. download these and put them on your own page. (of course, this photos are copyright the seattle times, so i guess i can't legally really give you permission to do anything, can i?) anyway, at least check them out... i think they scanned rather well. the full text of the article is at: http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis/web/vortex/display?slug=sunn20date=2620query=sunny+day+ real+estate and thank god it's there, because i was about to type it all out! anyway, the article is cool... kinda dumbed down for the newspaper crowd, but definitely shines some light on will's experiences...

Re: [sdre-l]: Re: snibe, artwork, other stuff (seven)
the sound clip before tearing in my heart is will's sister from years ago... she walked around france with a tape recorder and recorded kids playing, and that's her talking... that's kinda funny that will's sister appears more on that song than will does. =P john Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
